DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments (“Post-Effective Amendments”), filed by Highpower International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), remove from registration all shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and the associated Preferred Stock Purchase Rights (the “Common Stock”), that remain unsold under the following registration statements (each, a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

On June 28, 2019, Highpower International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with HPJ Parent Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), HPJ Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent is owned by Mr. Dang Yu Pan, Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Chief Executive Officer and stockholder of the Company, Mr. Wen Liang Li, a director and stockholder of the Company, Mr. Wen Wei Ma, a stockholder of the Company, and Essence International Capital Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (“Essence”). The Merger became effective on October 31, 2019 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

As of the Effective Time, each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of the Company’s common stock held by (a) Messrs. Pan, Li or Ma or their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Rollover Stockholders”) or Parent or, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or (b) stockholders who have validly exercised their appraisal rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, were converted into the right to receive $4.80 in cash without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). In addition, at the Effective Time, each stock option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (each, an “Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) was canceled and converted into the right to receive, on the next regularly scheduled employee payroll date in the jurisdiction of the holder of such Option, an amount in cash equal to the product of the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of the Option. Each outstanding Option that has an exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled without the right to receive any consideration. At the Effective Time and following the contribution of the Rollover Shares (as hereinafter defined) to Parent, each unvested restricted share of Company common stock granted pursuant to an incentive award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be treated in the same manner as other outstanding shares of Company common stock at the Effective Time, as previously described herein.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any and all securities that were registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements.
